I think it is easy to hit 3-4K to properly rebuild a transmission. If you are already having shifting problems and crunching gears, synchros alone won't completely fix the problem. As Mr. Monson has said, no proper estimate can be given until after complete disassembly and cleaning to inspect all parts. Most likely it will need multiple dog teeth, operating sleeves and brake bands, stop bits, etc. What if the ring and pinion is pitted from differential work that was improperly setup? What if the bearing races are spinning in the case?
Then there is removal and replacement of the transmission and engine unit. CV joint issues? Clutch problems?
I would think that planning for at LEAST 5K would be a smart bet. All that said, most Porsche specialty service shops will rebuild a 915 transmission in house. Unless ring and pinion setup is needed, there are only a few factory tools absolutely required to do the job.
